CHRONICLES OF POWER

Stories from the Sorcerer's World


Introduction: The Rule of the Raven


Tens of Thousands of years ago, During the dawn of man,
A man just like any other man stumbled apon a rule of power.
The rule Stated that he would live forever. He was given the Rule by the great Raven - The god of the cosmos.
the raven Told him that if he gathered men and women into the Rule and succesfully combined their powers that they would live forever in an other realm of existence.

the Raven then guided the man into the intricacies of sorcery.
He learned to travel through the wall of mist to meet with other entities The Shawguay.
The Shawguay gave gifts of power. Power that He could use in the daily world.
He also learned how to meet with them in Dreaming, another Gateway to other realms.

The man then gathered and intsructed groups of four men, and for women.
each pair resembled the four directions of power. After each group mastered their arts in sorcery
each pair was to begin instructing A group of new sorcerers Modeled after their own Party.
Then and only then was the master Sorcerer and his party able to leave the world.
Leaving Their apprentices to forget most of what they learned, only to remember their teachings over years by acts of sorcery.

The Great sorcerer and his party fell into a deadly trap: The Shawguay also offered eternal life in their realm.
And since the Sorcerers were obsessed with the use of their powers they became Allies with the Shawguay.
Only they didn't know That they were to be food for the Shawguay.
When it came for the first group to leave the world. They cast the Spell of "No Memory" on their apprentices.
They left into the wall of mist to live with their Allies.

the Shawguay gave the sorcerers a fate worse than death: their life force was ever so slowly extracted from their bodies.
Meanwhile catering to the harsh demands of the Shawguay. Sometimes it was a thousand years before A sorcerers death.

Over the years. Rule of Sorcerers spread accross the globe. All over people were using thier powers for Wealth.
they performed acts beyond comprehension to the onlooker, only later to become drunk and evil with power. And then only to suffer to their dreadful fate.

Three thousand years later, a party of sorcerers Rediscovered the Rule.
The Raven showed them in visions what the Shawguay was actually doing.This particular Party knew they wouldn't be able to sway the other sorcerers back to the Raven so easily.
The knew that trying to persuade them would lead to war. A war they could never win. For hundreds of years, this new group of sorcerers lived in seclusion.
They discovered ways not to succumb to the Shaguay. and since their only source of power came from the Shawguay they had to learn to be ruthless and swift in their Dealings.
the New Sorcerers then began gathering apprentices and teaching them the True way to do sorcery.
since they were not safe travelling to villages, where the Evil sorcerers lived, they projected Phantasmical doubles of themselves to find new apprentices.

After a time, they finally waged war on the Old sorcerers. It was the greatest battle on you could ever imagine! in fact, you could not comprehend what actually took place.
No one ever witnessed it. the War took place in their dreams.
The New Sorcerers went into their dreaming and sent dream helpers (the helpers that served as a bridge betwen mankind's and the Shawguays realm)
to take every Old sorcerer to their final Fate.

so began the new age! Our story begins in present day.....
